POLYMERIZATION OF p-DIETHYNYLBENZENE INITIATED BY Ni(C≡CC_6H_4C≡CH)_2(PPH_3)_2

Homogeneous polymerization of p-diethynylbenzene initiated by nickel acetylide Ni(C ≡ C C_6H_4 C ≡ CH)_2(PPh_3)_2has been investigated in terms of different solvents, addition agents, atmosphere gases, catalyst concentrations, monomerconcentrations and polymerization temperatures. The yield and catalytic efficiency approach 88% and 11. 1 kg polymer/molNi, respectively, under the optimum conditions: [cat] = 0.01 mol/L, [M] = 1.0 mol/L, NEt_3/cat (mol ratio) = 3～5, 1,4-dioxane/toluene (volume ratio) = 1 and T = 25℃ for 5 h. The polymerization rate equation can be expressed as R_p =k_p[M][cat]~2, where k_p= 0.47 L~2. mol~(-2)·S~(-1) (25℃). The overall polymerization activation energy was found to be203 kJ·mol~(-1). Poly(p-diethynylbenzene) so obtained is soluble in THF, CHCl_3 and toluene with weight-average molecularweights as high as 27, 100 and a rich-trans extended π-conjugated polyene chain structure with pendent groups ofp-C_6H_4C≡CH.     

Reaction of the Hexa-1,3,5-triyne Me3SiC≡CC≡CC≡CSiMe3 with Ru4(CO)13(μ 3-PPh): Parallels with the Chemistry of Alkynes and Diynes

Reaction of Ru₄(CO)₁₃(₃-PPh) (1) with the 1,3,5-hexatriyne Me₃SiCCCCC CSiMe₃ under mild thermal conditions affords initially Ru₄(CO)₁₀(-CO)₂{₄-¹,¹,²-P(Ph)C(CCSiMe₃)C(CCSiMe₃) (2), via the facile formation of a P–C bond in a manner similar to that demonstrated previously with alkynes and diynes. The 62-CVE cluster 2 readily decarbonylates to give crystallographically characterised Ru₄(CO)₁₀(-CO)(₄-PPh){₄-¹,¹,²,²-Me₃SiCCC₂CCSiMe₃} (3). Attempts to further incorporate the pendant alkyne moieties in 3 into the Ru₄ coordination environment were partially successful with Ru₄(CO)₁₀(₄-PPh)(₄-¹,¹,³,³-RC₄R') (4, R/R'=SiMe₃/CCSiMe₃) being formed as a minor product together with the unusual toluene coordinated species Ru₄(CO)₇(⁶-C₆H₅Me)(₄-PPh)(₄-¹,¹,³,³-Me₃SiC₄CCSiMe₄) (5). Cluster 3 reacts with an excess of Me₃SiCCCCCCSiMe₃ to give the open chain cluster Ru₄(CO)₉(₃-PPh){₄-²,²,⁴,⁴,-C₄(CCSiMe₃)(SiMe₃)C₄(CCSiMe₃)₃} (6).     

The Structure of Pd2(CH≡CC6H5)2(C5H7O2)3(BF3)2BF4

IR and NMR data showed that the ionic complex Pd₂(CHCC₆H₅)₂(C₅H₇O₂)₃(BF₃)₂BF₄ isolated in the reaction Pd(Acac)₂ + PA + 5BF₃OEt₂ (Acac is C₅H₇O₂, PA is phenylacetylene) is an adduct of two complexes, namely, (Acac)PdBF₄ and [(PA)₂Pd(C³-Acac · BF₃)]⁺(Acac · BF₃)^– (coordinatively unsaturated). On dissolution in deuteroacetone or deuteromethanol, the [(Acac)PdF₂BF₂Pd(C³-Acac · BF₃)(PA)₂]⁺(Acac · BF₃)^– adduct decomposed to Pd(Acac)₂, 2BF₃ · L (L = (CD₃)₂CO, CD₃OD) and the [L(PA)₂Pd(C³-Acac]⁺BF₄ ^– complex.     

From dicopper diacetylide (Cu-C≡C-C≡C-Cu) to carbyne

Hydrolysis of dicopper diacetylide Cu-C≡C-C≡C-Cu in HCl solution yields diacetylene as major product together with a mixture of polyynes and minor amounts of carbonaceous matter. After I month ageing the main hydrolysis product from dicopper diacetylide is insoluble carbonaceous matter (23.47% by weight) together with diacetylene and its superior homologues (polyynes formed from solid state oxidative coupling reaction) which have been qualitatively and quantitatively identified by electronic spectroscopy. Similar behaviour and results are observed on dicoppper acetylide Cu-C≡C-Cu. In the carbonaceous insoluble matter recovered after hydrolysis, the presence of carbyne was detected by FT-IR spectroscopy.Dicopper acetylide Cu-C≡C-C≡C-Cu and dicopper acetylide, irrespective for the degree of oxidation reached in air, undergo a controlled thermal decomposition by heating under reduced pressure yielding in few seconds carbyne and copper(I) oxide, both identified by FT-IR spectroscopy.     

Synthesis and characterization of stable osmafuran starting from HC≡CCH(OH)C≡CH and OsHCl(CO)(PPh3)3

This paper presents a new convenient route to prepare osmafuran starting from readily accessible HC≡CCH(OH)C≡CH and OsHCl(CO)(PPh₃)₃. Treatment of a solution of OsHCl(CO)(PPh₃)₃ in dichloromethane with HC≡CCH(OH)C≡CH, followed by the addition of acetic acid, produced osmafuran [Os(CHC(PPh₃)CO(CH₂CH₃))Cl(CO)(PPh₃)₂]Cl (2). 2 has been isolated in good yield and fully characterized. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra show the characteristic downfield chemical shifts of the ring hydrogen and carbon atoms. NMR and X-ray diffraction data provide strong evidence for the aromatic nature of 2. Probably due to the effect of the phosphonium substituent, 2 exhibits remarkable thermal stability, air stability and lower reactivity.

     

Structural relationships between dicopper diacetylide (Cu-C≡C-C≡C-Cu) and dicopper acetylide (Cu-C≡C-Cu)

Dicopper diacetylide Cu-C≡C-C≡C-Cu, prepared from butadiyne has been studied by FT-IR spectroscopy in comparison to dicopper acetylide Cu-C≡C-Cu. Upon ageing by exposure to air at room temperature, Cu-C≡C-Cu has been transformed into Cu-C≡C-C≡C-Cu as demonstrated by FT-IR spectroscopy and this compound is further transformed on standing in air. A special kind of solid state oxidative coupling reaction occurs so that polyynes chains are formed in these aged solids. It is shown that the FT-IR spectrum of copper acetylide prepared from ammonia solutions of Cu⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions is comparable to that of air oxidized Cu-C≡C-Cu (and Cu-C≡C-C≡C-Cu) prepared exclusively from Cu⁺ ions in presence of a reducing agent demonstrating that Cu²⁺ ions display the same oxidizing effect as oxygen causing coupling reactions in solution and producing Cu-C≡C-C≡C-Cu.Cu-C≡C-Cu oxidized at 60–70°C with CuCl₂ produces a product which could be formulated as Cu(C≡C)₂₀Cu; FT-IR absorption at 1950 cm⁻¹ could suggest the presence of cumulenic carbon chain although acetylenic carbon chains cannot be excluded completely.     

Synthesis and structures of silicon-, germanium-, and tin-containing tungsten carbyne complexes (ButO)3W≡C—EPh3 and [(ButO)3W≡C]2EPh2 (E = Si,Ge, Sn)

The structures of both the (Bu^tO)₃WC—GePh₃ and (Bu^tO)₃WC—SnPh₃ compounds synthesized earlier and the new complexes were established by X-ray diffraction analysis.

On melt-processed RBa2Cu3O7−x (R ≡ Y,Eu, Ho) superconducting oxides

We have determined the peritectic decomposition temperatures for YBa₂Cu₃O_7−x, EuBa₂Cu₃O_7−x and HoBa₂Cu₃O_7−x: they are 1030, 1060 and 980 °C respectively at P = 1 atm O₂. We have also determined the pressure-temperature behaviour of the orthorhombic-tetragonal transition in HoBa₂Cu₃O_7−x.

Vibrational overtone spectroscopy, energy levels, and intensities of (CH3)3C-C≡C-H

The vibrational overtone spectra of the acetylenic (Δυ = 4, 5) and methyl (Δυ = 5, 6) C-H stretch transitions of tert-butyl acetylene [(CH(3))(3)C-C≡C-H] were obtained using the phase shift cavity ring down (PS-CRD) technique at 295 K. The C-H stretch fundamental and overtone absorptions of the acetylenic (Δυ = 2 and 3) and methyl (Δυ = 2-4) C-H bonds have been obtained using a Fourier transform infrared and near-infrared spectrophotometer. Harmonic frequency ω(ν(1)) and anharmonicities x(ν(1)) and x(ν(1), ν(24)) are reported for the acetylenic C-H bond. Molecular orbital calculations of geometry and vibrational frequencies were performed. A harmonically coupled anharmonic oscillator (HCAO) model was used to determine the overtone energy levels and assign the absorption bands to vibrational transitions of methyl C-H bonds. Band strength values were obtained experimentally and compared with intensities calculated in terms of the HCAO model where only the C-H modes are considered. No adjustable parameters were used to get order of magnitude agreement with experimental intensities for all pure local mode C-H transitions.     

Theoretical investigations of spin-orbit coupling and kinetics in reaction W + NH3 → N≡WH3

The hydrogen-transfer reaction of W + NH(3) incorporates four possible diabatic reaction pathways along with septet, quintet, triplet, and singlet states. The intersystem crossings thus play an important role in the reaction mechanisms. In this work, ab initio and DFT methods are used to determine all possible intermediates, transition states, products, and intersystem crossing points as well as the spin-orbit couplings. The mechanism of hydrogen elimination is further revealed by the natural bond orbital analysis. From the rate constants yielded by a nonadiabatic transition state theory, we find that two intersystem crossings significantly change the reaction pathways. Finally, we suggest a feasible reaction pathway with exothermicity 72.8 kcal/mol, which is consistent with the experimental measurements.     

Linear Group 13 E≡E Triple Bonds in E2Li62+

The triply bonded heavier main-group compounds have a textbook trans-bent geometry, in contrast to a familiar linear form found for the lightest analogues. Strikingly, the unexpected linear group 13 E≡E triple bonds were herein found in the D_4h-symmetry E₂Li₆²⁺ clusters, and they possess a large barrier (>18.0 kcal/mol) towards the dissociation of Li⁺. The perfectly surrounded Li₄ motifs and two linear coordinated Li atoms strongly suppress the increasing nonbonded electron density of heavier E atoms, making two degenerate π bonds and one multi-center σ bond in linear heavier main-group triple bonds. The surrounding Li₆ motifs not only creates an effective electronic structure to form a linear E≡E triple bond, but the resulting electrostatic interactions account for the highly stable global E₂Li₆²⁺ clusters.

Ruthenium Cluster Chemistry with Ph2PC6H4-4-C≡CH

The new phosphines Ph₂PC₆H₄-4-CCR [R=SiMe₃ (1), H (2)] have been used to prepare Ru₃(CO)₉(Ph₂PC₆H₄-4-CCSiMe₃)₃ (4) and Ru(CCC₆H₄-4-PPh₂)(PPh₃)₂(-C₅H₅) (3), respectively, the latter with a pendent phosphine. Reaction of 4 with carbonate or fluoride affords Ru₃(CO)₉(Ph₂PC₆H₄-4-CCH)₃ (5) with pendent terminal alkynyl groups, the identity of which was confirmed by a structural study. Reaction of 5 with [Ru(NCMe)(PPh₃)₂(-C₅H₅)]PF₆ or reaction of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with 3 gives Ru₃(CO)₉{(Ph₂PC₆H₄-4-CC)Ru(PPh₃)₂(-C₅H₅)}₃ (6). Complexes 3–6 have been studied by cyclic voltammetry. Proceeding from Ru₃(CO)₁₂ to 4 or 5 shifts the cluster-centred reduction to more negative potential and affords facile cluster-centred oxidation. Proceeding from 4/5 and 3 to 6 results in similarly-located cluster-centred reduction and peripheral ruthenium-centred oxidation, but results in a lack of observable cluster-centred oxidation.
